Rias exclaimed in surprise, "Five… members?"
Hadn't it been less than a month since she gave the demon chess pieces to Lynn?
What kind of efficiency was this?
Did he just randomly find some people and take them into his Peerage?
Rias subtly frowned, but quickly relaxed.
After all, it was someone else's business, and she couldn't say much.
Moreover, with Shiwa as a Peerage, Lynn's Peerage wasn't bad.
Of course, what she didn't know was that.
Although Shiina Mahiru was the fifth, Lynn's Peerage were not just five.
Just this morning, he had taken in two more Peerage.
"Mr. Lynn, here's your black tea."
Himejima Akeno, as usual, served black tea to Lynn.
Of course, Shiina Mahiru also received some.
"Thank you."
Shiina Mahiru took the black tea and thanked her.
"Akeno, it's been a while."
"Ara, I didn't expect Mr. Lynn to still remember me."
Himejima Akeno, holding the tray with both hands, smiled with narrowed eyes, "I thought you were so busy petting Koneko that you had forgotten about me, a Peerage of the club president."
The fact that Lynn and Koneko would arrange to play video games together whenever they had free time was completely known to Rias and Himejima Akeno.
At that time, Rias even thought Koneko was about to be kidnapped.
Fortunately, Lynn had some conscience and had no intention of poaching Koneko from her.
Hearing Himejima Akeno's words, Rias also thought of this point and looked at Lynn with a resentful gaze.
Lynn picked up his black tea, completely unfazed.
"I just like petting cats, what's wrong with that?"
Rias said faintly, "But you're petting someone else's cat."
"President, Senior, I'm still here."
Koneko was expressionless.
"Please consider my feelings a little."
Rias gave a dry laugh and changed the subject, "So, Lynn, what do you need Stray Devils for?"
Lynn smiled mysteriously, "You'll know when the time comes."
Anyway, Rias and the others would follow.
After all, it was in their territory.
It was normal for Rias to be uneasy.
...
Komao Town.
An abandoned church.
Rias and the others, along with Lynn and Shiina Mahiru, teleported over.
"There's a newly arrived Stray Devils stationed here, but its strength has already reached the level of an Middle-Level Demon."
This was already the weakest Stray Devils she could find in Komao Town.
Rias introduced the situation inside, then pushed open the large door of the abandoned church.
Creak—
A harsh sound echoed emptily from inside the church, startling the lingering visitors.
"Heh heh heh."
"Are they little darlings who don't know their place and came to die again?"
The Stray Devils, with its back to Lynn and the others, turned around.
A completely black demon, with two wings resembling huge hands, came into view.
Its eye sockets were filled with blood, and corrosive saliva continuously dripped from its hideous mouth.
Sizzle—
The sound of the ground being corroded echoed.
Facing such a terrifying scene, Lynn and the others felt nothing.
It was just an Middle-Level Demon trying to put on a show.
Of course, Shiina Mahiru, who was encountering a Stray Devils for the first time, was still a little scared.
Although the Dead Body World seemed terrifying, at least the creatures there lacked intelligence.
The Stray Devils in front of them was clearly a different situation!
She unconsciously moved closer to Lynn, clutching his clothes.
Opposite.
The Stray Devils, with its hand-like wings, saw that it hadn't scared Lynn and the others, and awkwardly froze in place.
It inadvertently twitched its nose, and then the blood-red in its eyes instantly cleared.
It's a demon!
They actually pursued it from the Underworld to this place!
"Damn it! I've escaped all the way here, and they still won't let me go!"
It roared in anger, but its feet instinctively recoiled.
Clearly, its days of fleeing from the Underworld had not been easy.
Himejima Akeno said in a relaxed tone, "Oh my, it seems to have misunderstood something, hasn't it?"
"Mahiru."
"Ah... Yes!"
Called by Lynn, Shiina Mahiru instinctively responded.
Then she understood Lynn's meaning.
She cheered herself on internally.
Shiina Mahiru, you can do it!
Don't disappoint Mr. Lynn!
She took a few deep breaths, then stepped forward.
Rias asked doubtfully, "Is this really okay?"
"It seems that Shiina's strength is only that of an Inferior Demon, isn't it?"
"Hmm..."
Lynn pondered for a moment, then said, "You're right."
Snap!
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers, and chains of magic power rose from beneath the Stray Devils's feet, rattling as they bound it.
"Damn it! What is this thing!!"
The Stray Devils struggled frantically, but the chains remained motionless, even tightening further.
Seeing Lynn's move, Rias and Himejima Akeno's expressions instantly changed.
Himejima Akeno was no longer smiling, but opened her eyes and silently exchanged glances with Rias.
Clearly, Lynn's move just now revealed a lot.
It not only required more precise control over magic power, but the quality of the magic power was also a very important factor.
At least if they were to do it, it wouldn't seem so effortless.
Lynn's strength seemed to be unfathomable now.
Rias temporarily made a note of this, her gaze fixed on Shiina Mahiru.
She wanted to see what Lynn intended to do.
Shiina Mahiru breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the terrifying Stray Devils couldn't move.
Then, under the gaze of Rias and the others, she pulled out a... handgun?
Rias: "??"
Before she could say anything, Shiina Mahiru raised her hand, and dazzling white light converged from the muzzle.
Bang!!
"Ah ah ah ah ah!!"
The light-attribute bullet struck the Stray Devils's body, causing it to scream miserably!
It frantically twisted its massive body, its face covered in grotesque blood vessels, as if poisoned.
The bullet did not penetrate its body.
After all, it was an Middle-Level Demon, and human weapons could hardly cause it harm.
If it weren't for the light attribute, this bullet wouldn't even have been able to break its skin.
But the light was like a bone-deep poison, constantly devouring its flesh and blood.
The surrounding skin instantly vanished, revealing the muscle network, blood vessels, and eventually the bones beneath.
If it hadn't been for Lynn's restraint, it would have been able to put up some resistance.
But now...
"Middle-Level Demons are really thick-skinned."
Lynn was very satisfied with it.
"Mahiru, use it to your heart's content."
Shiina Mahiru: "..."
Stray Devils: "@￥…...@#!"
